Answer:

Molecular formula = S₂O ₆

Explanation:

Given data:

Empirical formula = SO₃

Molecular formula = ?

Molecular mass = 152 g/mol

Solution:

Molecular formula = n (empirical formula)

n = molar mass of compound / empirical formula mass

Empirical formula mass = 80 g/mol

n = 152 g/mol / 80 g/mol

n = 2

Molecular formula = n (empirical formula)

Molecular formula = 2(SO₃)

Molecular formula = S₂O ₆

Calculate the number of grams of sodium chloride in the solution. (Hint: Remember that sodium chloride is a strong electrolyte.)

creativ13 [48]

The question is incomplete, here is the complete question:

A solution contains 0.115 mol $H_2O$ and an unknown number of moles of sodium chloride. The vapor pressure of the solution at 30°C is 25.7 torr. The vapor pressure of pure water at this temperature is 31.8 torr. Calculate the number of grams of sodium chloride in the solution. (Hint: Remember that sodium chloride is a strong electrolyte.)

<u>Answer:</u> The mass of sodium chloride in the solution is 0.714 grams

<u>Explanation:</u>

The formula for relative lowering of vapor pressure will be:

$\frac{p^o-p_s}{p^o}=i\times \chi_{\text{solute}}$

where,

$p^o$ = vapor pressure of solvent (water) = 31.8 torr

$p^s$ = vapor pressure of the solution = 25.7 torr

i = Van't Hoff factor = 2

$\chi_{\text{solute}}$ = mole fraction of solute (sodium chloride) = ?

Putting values in above equation, we get:

$\frac{31.8-25.7}{31.8}=2\times \chi_{NaCl}\\\\\chi_{NaCl}=0.0959$

Mole fraction of a substance is calculated by using the equation:

$\chi_A=\frac{n_A}{n_A+n_B}$

$\chi_{\text{NaCl}}=\frac{n_{\text{NaCl}}}{n_{\text{NaCl}}+n_{\text{water}}}$

We are given:

Moles of water = 0.115 moles

$0.0959=\frac{n_{\text{NaCl}}}{n_{\text{NaCl}}+0.115}\\\\n_{\text{NaCl}}=0.0122mol$

To calculate the mass for given number of moles, we use the equation:

$\text{Number of moles}=\frac{\text{Given mass}}{\text{Molar mass}}$

Moles of NaCl = 0.0122 moles

Molar mass of NaCl = 58.5 g/mol

Putting values in above equation, we get:

$0.0122mol=\frac{\text{Mass of NaCl}}{58.5g/mol}\\\\\text{Mass of NaCl}(0.0122mol\times 58.5g/mol)=0.714g$

Hence, the mass of sodium chloride in the solution is 0.714 grams

How many grams of Sg is required to produce 83.10 g SF6? S: +24F-->8SF

ozzi

Answer : The mass of $S_8$ required is 18.238 grams.

Explanation : Given,

Mass of $SF_6$ = 83.10 g

Molar mass of $SF_6$ = 146 g/mole

Molar mass of $S_8$ = 256.52 g/mole

The balanced chemical reaction is,

$S_8+24F_2\rightarrow 8SF_6$

First we have to determine the moles of $SF_6$ .

$\text{Moles of }SF_6=\frac{\text{Mass of }SF_6}{\text{Molar mass of }SF_6}=\frac{83.10g}{146g/mole}=0.569moles$

Now we have to determine the moles of $S_8$ .

From the balanced chemical reaction we conclude that,

As, 8 moles of $SF_6$ produced from 1 mole of $S_8$

So, 0.569 moles of $SF_6$ produced from $\frac{0.569}{8}=0.0711$ mole of $S_8$

Now we have to determine the mass of $S_8$ .

$\text{Mass of }S_8=\text{Moles of }S_8\times \text{Molar mass of }S_8$

$\text{Mass of }S_8=(0.0711mole)\times (256.52g/mole)=18.238g$

Therefore, the mass of $S_8$ required is 18.238 grams.

Which statements describe Rutherford’s model of the atom? Select three options.

AnnZ [28]

Answer:

Well, I cannot see the options but if I were you I would choose the one closest to this. Rutherford's model shows that an atom is mostly empty space, with electrons orbiting a fixed, positively charged nucleus in set, predictable paths.

Explanation:

Again I cannot see the options but here is what I would guess. Hope this helped and have a great day! :-)
